SHOETHORtt ttEliDS OF ENGLAND, 347 



Cordelia, a deep fronted loan, stood second in her class at the 

 Oxford county. Two very useful roan heifers are by the home 

 bred Earl of Siddington Gth 51189, from Lady Charfield 4th and 

 Chaffinch, the latter obtained direct from Duncombe Park, the late 

 Earl ot Fevershain, buying China at Tortvvorth, from which cow 

 the former heifer is also descended. The Knightley Furbelows 

 number just half-a-dozen, the favourites being Erigone 6th, a fine 

 cow bought at Sandringham, and a wealthy heifer, Hemlock. 

 Fawsley Flower and Fawsley Flower 2nd, half sisters out of Duchess 

 Fawsley 4th, bought at Whittlebury, are as highly bred E-osys 

 as can be desired. The three Sweethearts bought at Osberton are 

 of quite a different type, the most even being the Forty-seventh, by 

 the Warlaby Prince Albert Victor, while another introduction of 

 Booth was made at Mr. D. Pugh's sale when three Bergamots of an 

 old Gloucestershire foundation were purchased, they are a good 

 even fleshed class of cattle, with strong constitutions, none more 

 level than Bergamot 12th, and it will be interesting to observe the 

 effect of crossing back to Bates, as Bergamot 6th which left Ozleworth 

 Park for Wales, was by Second Earl of Walton 19672, out of 

 Bergamot, by Cupid 14359, a bull that was out of Darlington 6th, 

 with a double cross of Fourth Duke of Oxford. Several other 

 families have been recently introduced for a trial, a red Barrington 

 Duchess of Mr. Thompson's breeding we view with special favour 

 as being likely to make one of the finest cows in the herd, and 

 Carolina llth, a well bred Craggs, bought at the dispersion of the 

 late Mr. Savage's herd has bred a very nice roan heifer. The sire in 

 service, Baron Oxford 16th 49090, considered the best Oxford 

 youngster at the last Holker sale, has developed into a handsome 

 bull, with a thorough masculine head and " crest," deep flank, fleshy 

 thighs while he is of undeniably superior quality and covered with 

 grand hair. 



Betwixt Tortworth and Berkeley we call at Heathermead, to 

 see Mr. G. Stephens' newly established herd composed almost 

 entirely of purchases from the former place. Zenith, a fine large 

 framed white, was bred at Pencraig Court, and sired by that grand
